Women's History Month Activities (With a Writing FREEBIE)

Women's History Month is throughout the month of March. It is incredibly important
that we as educators help teach our students the importance of women in our history. Teaching each of these influential women and their impact in history will make a lasting impression on your students!

Today's blog post is all about reading resources for Women's History Month!

We're going to look at fantastic read alouds or picture books, some more advanced chapter books for higher readers, online materials to learn, and some resources from TPT you can grab!

Read Alouds and Picture Books

These are great books to either read to your class aloud, or put into
their reading centers to read on their own or with partners. Some are specific to important women in history and areas of studies, while others focus on women in history in general. Each of the texts below are
links to affiliate books on Amazon!

Very similar to my Black History Month blog post from last month, there are two websites that are simply incredible for teaching biographies. These two websites are my go-to's for science and social studies topics. Have you tried out Pebble Go or Brain Pop Jr.?

There are tons of videos on Brain Pop for Women's History Month. These videos would be great to show one a day to showcase the many strong women in history. You could even set this as the technology assignment for the month and have students explore and learn on their own while they are technology time.

And Pebble Go has an incredible amount of biographies for women! They have them separated into categories such as athletes, first ladies, scientists, and more!

Biography Materials

These are my biography sets that I've made for TPT. They come with a
reading passage, cut and paste timeline, research fact writing page,
informational writing page, and a flip book with reading passage,
comprehension questions, true and false sorting, and a writing page.
I have 12 women biography packs in my entire Biography Bundle. I have pulled them out of the mega bundle in case you didn't want all of them. And I've put them into a mini bundle to save you guys money!

There are twelve biography sets in this mini bundle. Click the picture below to grab them.

This
freebie will help students connect learning about strong women in
history and present times with women in their lives. They will choose a
strong woman that they know, whether its a teacher, tutor, friend,
mother, sister, cousin, etc. They will illustrate them, describe them,
identify why they are strong, and identify what they would like to say
to them.
